Back to silver


If you remember a few weeks a go I put up some images of my Great grandma. I finally got time to print them in the darkroom on real silver not that inkjet stuff. I love the dark room so much but it is hard to get in there as much as I would like to with all the class. They look so much better the a inkjet to me. I had so much fun on Thursday night. I got a few extra hours and was like I have to go print tonight so I got to it and made some images the old fashion way in the soup. I suggest that if you have away to go print in a darkroom and know how to or want to learn how to go do it. You will remember what it is like or find out what it is like to print in the darkroom. It is awesome, it is like magic seeing that image come up for the first time. John Sexton talk about this in detail and he is so right. I remember it like it was yesterday and all you dark room junkies know what I'm talking about. One of the most awesome things in the world is the dark room. There is nothing like it. So get out the trays the red light and print. Then grab a beer kick back and look at you work. Hiro and I after printing Thursday night garbing a beer good times.
